Not my HMMWV, just parked together.

IN

Always appreciate your help! That's what I'll be doing, and anti-seize gets slathered liberally over pretty much any fastener I manage to get out in one piece. If you're ever in WA please let me know, I'd love for you to drive this truck and give me an estimate of how well it is or isn't...

Those are the culprits. The center post was larger than the hole in the T25 Torx anti-tamper bit I have. I was able to get them out and back in by tapping the bit onto the head of the screw. Not the best maintenance practice I know, but finding another bit wasn't something I was going to be...

Took the governor cover off the IP and changed the shutoff solenoid. Those anti-tamper screws were a lot of drama; really not sure why they used them. None of my anti-tamper torx would fit. I ended up having to tap the T25 on with a hammer. Truck started up and I drove it around for about...

Finally was able to get outside again today and troubleshoot it some more. It fired up like normal, then died a minute later. Removing the pink wire and touching it back I hear the solenoid inside click occasionally, but not reliably every time. This is leading me to believe the solenoid is...

Working in the rain means I really don't want to throw parts at it if they aren't needed, so please bear with me. I agree about the mileage. This is a daily driver though, it never sits more than a day or two. My filter base has a pressure gauge. It's steady at 7 - 8 psi right to the point of...

Where did you buy the parts?

No, as far as I know the engine has about 30K miles on it. Cool barn! I work in the rain... Do the symptoms I describe sound like an injection pump issue? It was running strong the whole day, still running strong during the brief periods it was running.

Got the jeep back on the road- just a new oil pressure sender. The CUCV still not running right. It will start normally, run a few minutes, then shut down. I changed the filter and it ran for 10 - 12 minutes, then shut down. Wait about ten minutes, and it starts, runs a few minutes, then shuts...

What a day.... Wife and I drove to the mountains on Saturday to shoot a pistol I picked up on a police auction. We drove the Grand Cherokee but as soon as we hit the National Forest I heard a chime and the oil can light on the dash flashed on, then went out. The oil checked good and then the...

Hey, how about some updates? Some of us are living our 1078 dream vicariously ya know... ;)

Very cool trailer! You might trying calling the manufacturer and see if they'll give or sell you a manual on DVD, I imagine they were contractually required to provide one. If you know the contract number pass it along and I'll look it up. Surge brakes tend to be trouble free, at least the...

Picked up? Where does one buy those beasts?

For those of you with 33s; is this a case of appearance to the detriment of performance, or does the Detroit Diesel not notice them? ...assuming you're running the stock 3.08 axels...

With that out of the way I got to work on it this afternoon. Used practically every tool I own on Step 1, disconnect the batteries. I shouldn't get frustrated; it's always that way. I really need to look into replacing the cables. Went pretty smoothly after that. I opted to put my old...

Heard a loud THUMP on the front stoop, sounds like an alternator. So here's the new one. What's supposed to be happening in (unthreaded) hole R there? I have a wire going there on the old alternator.

I had the charger on immediately and left it going all night. When I left for work in the morning I took it off (it's not an auto) and later in the day when I got home it started right up like normal. The bad news is that my alternator that was supposed to be delivered FEDEX yesterday was...

I opened the inside door of the garage last night to make sure both overheads were closed before going to bed. I heard a strange rhythmic knocking, or popping sound coming from the driveway. :unsure: Put some shoes on and went outside the see what it was. Turns out I left the Whelen siren/pa...

Here's a shot of the alternator, looks to be an isolated ground given the fiber washer under the ground bolt? I tightened the belt and took some readings from the front battery. First pic is post to post on the front battery, at (warmed up) idle, the second is with the prybar jammed...
